SSPB 015EP
|
Not long after his Seilscheibenpfeiler debut, 2019's acclaimed Lurk Late EP, techno renaissance man Alex Tsiridis returns with four new expertly crafted killer tracks. He's changing gear and style here compared to his last record. If Lurk Late was a kind of late-night soundtrack, this release is more concerned with twisted peak time energy. There's no straight and safe 4/4 beats in these tracks, but they hit you with equal force. "Bao Cecile" sets the scene with stabbing percussion and mysteriously cut-up vocals before "Casualty" steps it up and "Just In Case" hits the red zone with fierce and powerful cascades of kick drums. It's a rhythmic workout on the surface, but as you listen closely, a heap of sound layers drift in and out. The title track closes the record much slower and weirder, underlining this producer's urge to never sound the same.

ARCS 006EP
|
Rhyw is Alex Tsiridis, aka one half of Cassegrain. On this, his solo debut for Arcing Seas, his smoldering, alien techno sound manifesto continues to thrive over three unique tracks. The morphing, deconstructed acid of "Unpunishable" -- a molten statement of lusty intent -- strikes first in a heady, hazy pummeling of doom-funk. "Vertisol" pushes crisp and dry snaking percussion through an anechoic chamber; the bass end neatly warming at first then burning hard through your mid-section. An icy cold shot of "Aqua Velva" is the final offering -- a pushing sub-level trip through Rhyw's private domain.
